underpinning these and other important topics.

it started, and is responsible for nurse training. She has

“Karen Coumbe has successfully edited another fantastic book for equine veterinary nurses. It is a must-have book for nurses and practices, or anyone who works with horses, as a primary reference to assist them in their training and subsequent years as registered equine nurses.” (Veterinary Record, 16 February 2014)

"This book is essential for anyone nursing in equine practice, either in training or as a qualified equine veterinary nurse. This is the second edition of the book and it has been revised to include further advances in clinical practice, particularly with reference to imaging techniques that have come to the forefront in recent years. I was excited to be asked to review the book and now encourage all my nurses to read it, whether they be first-year trainees covering equine and small animal topics or qualified nurses needing to read up on more advanced procedures. Despite being someone who is easily sidetracked when expected to read dense text, I found myself wanting to read more. The chapters are written by well-respected experts from a variety of clinical backgrounds. The use of coloured pictures, schematic diagrams, tables, sub-headings and highlighted ‘key note’ boxes make information easy to read, understand and absorb. All chapters include a range of suggested further reading for those who wish to enhance their knowledge and understanding further. Chapters on subjects that can be weighty for nurses to learn, such as anatomy and physiology or diagnostic imaging, include plenty of diagrams and photographs to help visualise and understand the dynamics of the subject. Several chapters apply a visual approach to learning. Karen Coumbe has successfully edited another fantastic book for equine veterinary nurses. It is a must-have book for nurses and practices, or anyone who works with horses, as a primary reference to assist them in their training and subsequent years as registered equine nurses."
